2015 International ASI Convention

Magnify the Lord All Ye SaintsDo you keep up with the unfolding of world affairs? It’s

enough to make your head spin. The words of the song, “Signs of the times are everywhere,” are exaggerated by the clamor of those who speculate and by the spin of conspiracy theorists. My senses are so crowded with dark forebodings that if it weren’t for an Almighty Savior, I’d beg God to “stop the world and let me off.”

Fortunately, I have an Almighty Savior, and the thought that “The most High rules in the kingdom of men” has a reassuring affect on my soul (Daniel 4:17).

“In the annals of human history, the growth of nations, the rise and fall of empires, appear as if dependent on the will and prowess of man; the shaping of events seems, to a great degree, to be determined by his power, ambition, or caprice. But in the word of God the curtain is drawn aside, and we behold, above, behind, and through all the play and counterplay of human interest and power and passions, the agencies of the all-merciful One, silently, patiently working out the counsels of His own will” (Prophets and Kings 499:3,4).

Welcome and thank you for taking time, by attending

the annual ASI International Convention, to reset your faith and to recalibrate your focus. Instead of magnifying the terrors that haunt your world, the divisions that threat-en your church, and the frustrations that vex your spirit, what do you say we put aside all that exasperates and allow our hearts to bask in the warmth of the gifts that heaven bestows through Christ and His righteousness?

Please, in the few minutes it takes to send a prayer, reach out, ask God to magnify Himself in your heart and mind, beg Him to eclipse all that disturbs in your world, and may this convocation be the most memorable you will ever experience.

Frank Fournier ASI President

SUCCESSION PLANNING: WITHOUT IT, GOOD BUSINESSES AND MINISTRIES OFTEN VANISH (Room 401B-C)Can you think of any ministries or small businesses that no longer exist because there seemed to be no one to fill the shoes of the leader or leaders?

Taj Pacleb was born and raised in the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Growing up with no Christian background, Taj got involved in a life with no purpose or direction. But at age 16, he was invited to a prophecy seminar where the Word of God was able to penetrate his clouded mind. Through one prayer, God set him completely free from that destructive lifestyle and gave him a new high that no drug could ever compare with: knowing Jesus and making Him known to others. Currently he is living out his dream and calling by serving God as a public evangelist and revivalist, holding seminars across California. He has had

the opportunity of presenting life-changing messages from God’s word on four different continents and in many other locations in the United States, helping others find the fulfillment that he found in Jesus Christ. He and his wife, Wati, live in Fresno, California.

USING BUSINESS AS MISSION (Room 401B-C)Businesses have mission statements—that is “business with mission.” Some business people work to support mission—that is “business for mission.” But what does a business look like that is “business as mission?” Why does God need people willing to commit to business as mission?

THE (EPI)GENETICS OF SIN AND SALVATION: THE 3RD AND 4TH GENERATION EFFECT (Bay 111C)

What does the Bible mean when it says the sins of the fathers are visited to the third and fourth generations? What was Ellen White referring to when she spoke of “inherited” tendencies? Is genetics important primarily for health and physical issues, or does it have a profound impact on our moral, emotional, and behavioral lives? In the last 20 years there has been an explosion of scientific research in genetics that supports the Biblical view of human nature and inheritance. Learn how the life of Jesus gives us the keys to overcoming “every weight and the sin which so easily besets us.”

WHAT EVERY BOARD MEMBER SHOULD KNOW: RESPONSIBILITIES, RISKS AND LIABILITIES (Room 402A-B)Do you know what’s involved in being a good board member? What does it mean to “exercise due diligence”?

SABBATH, AUGUST 8 (cont.)

9:00 AM Sabbath School — “For Such A Time As This” (Hall C)

A certain people living in the domain of King Ahasuerus, a domain covering two million square miles, were in trouble. Esther, a Jewess, had been appointed queen a little more than four years prior, and by her demeanor and conduct influenced the king’s attitude toward her. Her foster father, perceiving the outworking of divine providence, challenges her that she was brought to the kingdom for such a time as this. The challenge of Esther 4:14 is for us, and we will study what that means for God’s last day corporate Esther.

7:00 PM VESPERS — “Go Ye Out to Meet Him” (Hall C)

If as a church we had only six months to work, would we spend our time arguing women’s ordination, New-Age mysticism, Christian Evolution, same-sex marriage, and politics, or would we buckle down and deal with the issue most important to God?

KINDERGARTEN (Room 202A-C)

“Survival of the Unfit— God Bridged the Gap”

Leader: Janet Brandauer

Are your children prepared to survive in a dying world? As we journey through the pages

of God’s Word, the Kindergarten Class will learn how God created man “fit,” and what made him “unfit.” We will learn how God had a plan already in place to bridge the gap and make us “fit” again. Through creative crafts and activities, the children will learn how to use the tools that God has given each one of us for survival. Young minds can grasp deep truths with practical applications of Bible stories, songs, activities, and crafts. Come and discover the only way to survive.

PRIMARY (Room 205-206A)

“The Bible For Survival”Leader: Janean Mason

Join in the adventure with the Primary Class as we discover clues in the Bible for survival!

Bible drills, scripture songs, crafts, and outdoor activities will expand our understanding of how

the truths in the Bible give essential information for our phys-ical and spiritual survival. Guest speaker Ranger Randy will share exciting, hands-on presentations from God’s creation while our in-class nature segments will highlight the tools God has given animals for survival. Primaries are sure to enjoy our visit to Cat Tales Zoological Park, where we will see these creatures face to face.

*Please Note: Kindergarten, Primary, and Junior departments will begin 10 minutes before and end 10 minutes after posted times to keep from interfering with attendance at adult meetings.

JUNIORS (Room 206B-C)

“Operation: CSI”Leader: Kimberly Cruz

If you seek biblical ways of recognizing spiri-tual survival skills, then you will want to join

the Juniors this year! What happens when we are tempted to forsake our Christian values just

to be accepted, but choose instead to stand firm in our faith? How do we handle life’s struggles and still hold on to our beliefs? We’ll be exploring what the scriptures have to say about survival during these last days and what it means to be rooted in Christ. We’ll also be identifying false survival skills so that we will be armed and ready to resist the enemy when he comes knocking. See you there!

EARLITEENS (Room 206D)

“Survive and Thrive”Leader: Beaver Eller

The survival of Earliteens in the 21st century builds on the same foundation as Bible heroes

of old. We will study about physical, mental, and spiritual survival as we learn practical and Biblical

skills that will enable us not only to survive but also to thrive in a world that desperately needs a practical experience with Jesus Christ. Our off-site activity will be to the “Survival Mu-seum,” after which we’re off to practice in a mountain setting the survival skills learned. Come and join us!

YOUTH (Room 207)

“Ransomed to Rescue”Leader: Sean Nebblett

You were born to climb higher mountains than the last generation dreamed existed. The

trouble is, many of us have difficulty in just getting out of bed in the morning. So how’s this

supposed to work? The answer might surprise you. Join us on an exciting journey to discover how every young person can be ransomed from the tyranny of failure to become a rescuer themselves. Our off-site activity will be all day on Friday.


The ASI Missions Inc. Board selected 41 projects to receive grants from the offering gathered at the 2015 ASI International Convention. The offering goal is $1,435,000. Online donations are accepted toward this year’s offering and previous years’ pledges. Each project will receive the designated amount. All combined, the projects represent a significant worldwide impact. In the unlikely event that any of the listed projects do not progress within a reasonable time, as determined by ASI at its discretion, ASI may redirect the funds from the failed project to another ASI approved project. Below are the organizations, along with descriptions and planned use of project funds.

Special Offering Projects

1. Adventist Health International - $25,000 Adventist Health International, headquartered in Loma Linda, California, assists Adventist hospitals around the world. Since 1902, this nonprofit corporation has been helping treat the physical and spiritual needs of both the poor and the powerful. Malamulo Hospital in Malawi is in desperate need of upgrades due to water damage and age. This year’s project funds will go toward these badly needed upgrades.

2. Adventist World Aviation - $10,000 AWA was established in 1995 to meet the demands of isolated missionaries in need of support. The organization currently operates fifteen aircraft at eight airbases in four countries supporting onsite ministries and relieving suffering while helping to proclaim the gospel. Currently, its outpost in Guyana lacks hangars for the two aircraft in operation there. Servicing and repairs are done on the edge of the landing strip, leaving the aircraft exposed to the weather and vulnerable to vandalism and theft. Plans include construction of a hangar on a lot adjacent to the airstrip.

3. Amazing Facts - $25,000 Since 1965, Amazing Facts has been an innovative leader in Christian radio and television, moving extensively into Internet evangelism in the past decade and reaching more than 500,000 unique online visitors each month. If the Bible is right about the when, where, how, and why, we can also trust what it says about Who—Jesus. AF is in need of funds to develop a new documentary called “50 Amazing Prophecies That Prove the Bible is True,” which reveals how Bible prophecy has been fulfilled exactly as foretold.

4. Amazon Lifesavers Ministry - $20,000 Amazon Lifesavers operates four bases in the remote Amazon regions of South America. From its headquarters in Manaus, ALM provides a three-month training course for volunteers who are then placed in one of the isolated jungle village bases to serve for a minimum of a year, developing friendships through health and humanitarian services, engaging in evangelistic work, and establishing new churches. With 30 full-time volunteers and 14 students, there is a desperate need for adequate transportation.

Funds will go toward the purchase of a 15-passenger van to help transport students and volunteers between the remote bases.

5. ASAP Ministries - $10,000 ASAP Ministries works to spread the gospel through evangelistic, education, and humanitarian projects in Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Thailand, also assisting refugees from those countries. ASI funds will help provide emergency medical funds for the 217 ASAP national missionaries who have limited access to hospital care; supply 2,050 Bibles in native languages to refugees, schools, and churches in Southeast Asia; and provide 5,000 “My Bible First” lessons to children in Sabbath schools and ASAP’s Feed and Read literacy schools around the Khmer region of Cambodia.

6. ASI DVD Project - $100,000 ASI’s New Beginnings DVD Evangelism training program has had a tremendous impact around the world. ASI has distributed tens of thousands of DVDs and DVD players to volunteer missionaries around the world. The materials have recently been updated to meet the demands of changing technology. This year’s funds will further expand the reach and technological capabilities of the program, with the inclusion of health presentations.


Special Offering Projects 7. ASI Youth for Jesus - $100,000 ASI’s Youth For Jesus is the quintessential summer evangelism program for youth. It involves young participants from all over the globe in door-to-door outreach, Bible studies, evangelistic meetings, recreational activities, and more. The youth also receive solid, biblically-based training from Bible workers and evangelism instructors. Every YFJ participant has the opportunity to give real in-home Bible studies. Costs include bringing in instructors and hiring quality Bible workers to complete evangelism field work and to serve as YFJ mentors. ASI project funds support this annual venture.

8. Bethel Institute - $10,000 Bethel Institute, operating under the direction of Eden Valley Institute, provides lay missionary training and runs a vegetarian restaurant and lifestyle center in a rural area of the Dominican Republic. In conjunction with LIGHT (see Project #21 below), the organization is expanding its school’s capacity to 50 students. ASI offering funds will help provide construction materials for necessary upgrades to the school and lifestyle center.

9. Better Life Broadcasting Network - $20,000 Better Life has been on the air sharing the good news with Oregon since 1988. The network has expanded to include stations that cover substantial regions in Oregon, Northern California, Southern Washington, and Reno, Nevada. Project funds will allow Better Life to introduce three new channels: Better Health TV, Better Life Latino, and Better Life Evangelism.

10. Broken Chains for Humanity, Inc. - $15,000 Broken Chains began in 2005, when lay members from Elk Grove, California, went on a short-term mission project to Guatamala. Each year they have returned to Guatamala, providing medical relief and evangelism to those living in abject poverty. Since 2005, they have provided care for 10,000 people and baptized more than 100. Offering funds will help establish a permanent clinic on an 18-acre property, as well as provide a wall for protection, a bridge for access, and a well to provide clean water.

11. Butler Creek - $15,000 Butler Creek Health Education Center in Iron City, Tennessee, operates a live-in lifestyle center, an eight-month evangelism/industrial training school, and a literature evangelism program in conjunc-tion with the Kentucky-Tennessee Conference. Its evangelistic reach is both local and worldwide, with students holding health and evangelism seminars in various countries around the world. Project funds will go toward the construction of a new health evangelism center and industrial arts classroom.

12. Congo Frontline Missions - $20,000 Congo Frontline Missions is a ministry that brings a message of hope and salvation to the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) through preaching, teaching, and medical missionary work.

They, in turn, will train other volunteers to help with dental care.

They also give Bible studies, teach construc-tion and mechanics, and operate a ministry for women. The radio station broadcasts its programs in the Miskito language, reaching a 100-mile radius. Project funds will be used to provide solar power to offset the prohibitively high costs of electricity required to operate the radio station.


14. E.A. Sutherland Education Association - $10,000 The E.A. Sutherland Education Association (EASEA) provides accreditation services, professional development programs, and teacher certification services to its member schools. It also fosters service learning opportunities for students in those schools. ASI project funds will help EASEA continue its mission of providing services and support to its members.

15. Ellen G. White Estate - $50,000 The Ellen G. White Estate is responsible for oversight of the writings of Ellen White as an integral part of Seventh-day Adventist Church operations. The organization’s ongoing goal is to digitize all of her translated books, making them freely available online for reading or download in major formats. The organization’s website feature many of Ellen White’s writings in more than 50 languages. Project funds will go toward digitizing and posting more books by Ellen White in translated languages.

16. Fountainview Academy - $25,000 Fountainview is a lay-operated Adventist boarding school for grades 10 through 12 operating in rural British Columbia. Its goal is to lead students to Christ using biblical methods, and to train them in academic excellence and practical work experience. The school is partly supported by an organic carrot farm. Fountainview recently created a mobile app that features scripture songs and memorization tools. Already, there have been more than 4,000 downloads of the app. Project funds will help Fountainview expand the number of scripture songs available on the app as well as to improve the app’s functionality.

17. Generation of Youth for Christ - $50,000 GYC is a lay organization of young people committed to the Seventh-day Adventist Church and its end-time message of Christ’s soon return. The organization aims to motivate young people to action by providing workshops, training, Bible studies, and inspirational messages at its annual conference. It seeks to foster Christian fellowship, create networking opportunities, and encourage young people to assume leadership responsibility. GYC also works with local Adventist conferences each year to organize outreach activities involving thousands of young people in the city where the annual conference is held. Project funds will help support this year’s conference in Louisville, Kentucky.

18. Granheim Foundation - $20,000 Since 1991, Granheim Foundation has operated the only Seventh-day Adventist mission school in Norway. Its one-year course equips students with skills to become lifetime missionaries. Thus the school is committed to giving young people a profound experience, providing them with the motivation, knowledge, skills, and practice necessary to choose a life of surrender to God and active soul winning. The funds provided by ASI will help to replace two aging nine-passenger vans used to transport students.

19. Harbert Hills Academy - $50,000 Over the years, Harbert Hills Academy has had an impact on hundreds of young lives, with many students going on to pursue higher education and lives of service for God’s kingdom. The school has never had a girls’ dormitory, and this year some applicants are already on a waiting list based on available housing space. Project funds will be used to complete a new dorm that will house 24 girls, with additional rooms for music, exercise, special needs access, and deans’ apartments.

20. Kibidula Farm Institute - $35,000 Kibidula Farm Institute is engaged in lay Bible worker and health evangelism training, bush evangelism, a book distribution ministry, farm operations, and One-Day Church construction in Tanzania, Africa.

In 2004, Kibidula started an agriculture training program to help local villagers, and many of the students have been baptized. Kibidula has established a sheep and cattle herd that now numbers 1,400 head.

26. Maranatha O.S. - $25,000 Maranatha o.s. is a nonprofit civic association in the Czech Republic led by ASI Missions Inc. board member Radim Passer. Maranatha exists to motivate Adventist church members to involve their youth in evangelistic endeavors. It has been involved in children’s ministries, health and science evangelism, publishing, and humanitarian aid. It will use project funds to sponsor a Youth for Jesus Program in the major Czech city of Ostrava. Fifteen young people will preach their own evangelistic series using ASI’s New Beginnings DVDs. This effort ties into the General Conference’s Big City thrust in cooperation with the Adventist Church in the Czech Republic.

27. Message to the Mountains - $10,000 Since 2008, Message to the Mountains, based in Khatmandu, Nepal, has been providing books and clothing to underprivileged children and sharing the gospel through daily 30-minute radio broadcasts. To date, it has provided more than 100 scripts to Adventist World Radio for broadcast in the native Nepalise language. Project funds will help the organization expand its influence with children by providing a sound Christian education.


28. One Day Church Project - $100,000 The One-Day Structure Project is a joint effort between ASI and Maranatha Volunteers International. Thousands of church and school structures have been built primarily in Africa, but an estimated 100,000 more churches and 40,000 additional schools are needed, with requests coming in from new regions and countries every day. Project funds will support production and shipping for this ongoing church and school construction project.

29. Outpost Centers International - $20,000 Outpost Centers International (OCI) is an umbrella organization whose mission is to maintain a network of Adventist lay ministries around the world. OCI ministries impact people through health, education, media, and evangelism. ASI funds will assist the China Union Mission to further its health outreach efforts for adults and children so that its programs can be replicated across the country over time.

30. Missionary Assistance Plan (MAP) - $95,000 The Missionary Assistance Plan (MAP) is a project funded by ASI donations and administered by Outpost Centers International (OCI). It provides financial support to missionaries serving around the world. This special project was started when ASI members sought to assist individuals and families serving OCI ministries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. MAP funds currently benefit 30 recipients, including Hanne Lise Vik, who has been serving in Tanzania, Africa, for seven years.

31. Peru Projects Inc. - $20,000 Peru Projects supports Bible workers, an emergency medical aviation program, and a local pastor, all through donations. Five One-Day Structures have been used in the development of its campus. Offering funds will help the organization expand its ministry to include a lifestyle center and a medical missionary training school. Peru Projects will work in conjunction with LIGHT to develop an expanded medical missionary outreach that will enable Peru Projects to become self-supporting rather than donor dependent.

32. Riverside Farm Institute - $40,000 Riverside Farm Institute has operated for many years as a lifestyle center, school, medical clinic, and working farm. Riverside has provided care to some of Zambia’s most influential leaders. This year’s offering will help Riverside Farm with three much-needed projects: additional staff housing for lifestyle workers, a twelve-mile electric fence to protect the perimeter of the property, and a large-capacity seed planter to bolster the farming efforts that support the organization’s outreach ministries.

33. ShareHim - $50,000 For the last 15 years, ShareHim has coordinated the efforts of volunteer evangelistic speakers for church-provided sites in every corner of the world. It provides user-friendly sermon outlines prepared by former General Conference president Robert Folkenberg. Offering funds will help with travel expenses for young people from economically-developed countries to preach in less developed countries where the Adventist Church is growing more rapidly.

34. Souls Northwest - $10,000 Souls Northwest trains young people in a practical two-year course that develops self-sufficient Bible worker/outreach coordinators. Because of the combination of classroom and extensive literature evangelism efforts, the program provides a nearly self-funded experience for students of the program. Offering funds from ASI will help develop a scholarship fund for students with financial needs, helping them to graduate debt-free and ready to serve as Bible workers in local churches.


35. Springs of Life Foundation - $20,000 Springs of Life Foundation has made The Great Controversy available in expansive magabook and CD forms, undertaking a huge campaign to distribute the books across Poland. Project funds will help to update antiquated printing equipment that will provide better efficiency and quality in the creation of Christ-centered literature for the people of Poland.

36. The Biblical World - $10,000 The Biblical World is dedicated to uplifting Jesus by bringing the pages of scripture to life. Since 2004, speaker-director Tony Moore, an ordained Adventist minister, has been producing compelling video programs that communicate the faith of Jesus to contemporary unchurched people. Project funds will be used to produce a miniseries to be aired on the History and Discovery Channels. This miniseries will be a beautiful, winsome portrayal of Jesus, a Sabbath keeper, and will explore His teachings about death, resurrection, baptism, and His second coming.

37. Three Angels Broadcasting Network - $100,000 3ABN is a lay-developed international media broadcasting network that operates numerous specialty networks with worldwide broadcast coverage. 3ABN broadcasts the yearly ASI convention, as well as hundreds of programs featuring ASI members and ministries. Project funds will help with the purchase of a new production trailer for the network’s on-the-road truck that is used for onsite filming at ASI, GYC, GC Session, and many other events.

38. VIDA Internacional - $20,000 Vida Internacional began with an evangelistic series in Honduras that established a new Adventist church. It has blossomed into a primary school, a medical missionary training program, a small lifestyle center, and an ongoing Bible worker training program. The ministry operates a tamarind concentrate processing plant that provides about one-third of its operating funds. It recently suffered a setback when the ministry’s Toyota pickup truck was stolen. ASI offering funds will help replace this necessary transportation source.

39. Weimar Institute - $50,000 Weimar Institute is a center of higher learning located in the foothills of Northern California’s Sierra Nevada range. It grants four-year bachelor degrees in natural sciences (pre-med), theology, pastoral studies, and Christian education, with a focus on health, evangelism, and manual labor, and a commit-ment to excellent academics. Weimar is in the process of starting a nursing school that will provide training not only in traditional nursing skills but also in natural remedies. ASI offering funds will help Weimar launch these new programs in the fall of 2015.

40. World Youth Group - $20,000 World Youth Group is a ministry of a local Adventist Church in South Carolina. Each year, young people from the church preach messages and provide medical support in unreached towns in Cuba. Project funds will allow the continuation of this ministry, including the identification of ten new unreached communities and the purchase of small house churches for the planting of new congregations in Cuba.

41. Your Best Pathway to Health - $25,000 Your Best Pathway to Health is a department of ASI Missions Inc., organized to carry out large-scale health events that provide free health and dental care to needy community members using volunteer health care providers and staff. Pathway to Health was born in 2014 out of the Bridges to Health experience in San Francisco and Oakland, California, where more than 3,000 people received a wide variety of free health services, including eye, dental, OBGYN, and general surgery. More than 2,000 visitors were turned away due to lack of capacity and personnel. Similar positive results were experienced in San Antonio prior to the 2015 GC Session. Project funds will support additional large-scale events in the future.
